[edit] What is a veterinary chaplain??

See subject. Is this seriously a real job?

[edit] Lack of an image

There's no image for Keiko, despite the fact that he is one of the most famous orcas there is. There has to be a non-copyrighted image of him. Anyone have such an image, or willing to volunteer one they took when he was at the Oregon Coast Aquarium? 69.59.212.172 00:34, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I think I might have one; I'll ask the next time I go home if we still have a digital copy of it. It was taken while he was at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. Titanium Dragon 01:45, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Whale"

Killer whales belong to the dolphin family. Which belong to the cetacean family and are technically whales, but you wouldn't point to a bottlenosed dolphin and call it a whale, would you? If no one has a convincing reason to keep the word "whale" in the article (when not prefaced by "killer", of course), I'll go ahead and change it to "orca". Any objections?
